Come join the Sierra Club for a relaxing morning paddling througk the mangrove inlet in Tampa Bay E.G. Simmons Conservation Park has numbered signs guiding paddlers through the islands and mangroves so they don't get lost. There is a short section in the bay, but the journey is protected for the most part. The park has 8 single kayaks to rent for the morning for 25 each, or you can bring your own. Park entrance fee is 2 a car. This will be a relatively easy 2-hour paddle. If there is wind over 10 knots, the park will not rent out kayaks and the trip will be canceled We can grab lunch at the Ybor Grill down the street after the paddle.

Please make sure to bring water, snacks, sunblock, hat, PFD and whistle if you are not renting, water shoes, paddling/biking gloves, waterproof bag/drybag, dry clothes for changing into, and camera/phone if you like. Last time I paddled this park, I enjoyed two manatees playing. Over 18 only please. Sierra Club requires PDF be worn at all times while on the water. The whistle and PFD is required by Florida law.

attending here doesn't register you for the paddle.
